Living in MTL theses days are harsh ....I am so used to having the Wings make the playoffs (and it helped that we were in the Western conference…so nobody cared about my team)...now, I get to be ridiculed at LOL…..I get the chant ” hey hey hey goodbye” when I watch the Wings at a sports bar…...

Tonight will be brutal….not sure I have the stomach to go out and watch. Montrealers have a very short term memory….now that their team is making the playoffs, they are just the best in town and acting as if it was always the case (clearly not knowing what that is really like….mmmm since the last 20 years..)

Anyway, we do have one thing in common and that is our hatred for Toronto…but Toronto has a favorable schedule compared to us and Columbus….We need all the wins, but looking at the teams that we will meet, Tampa and Boston is not likely….so wining against the Habs and T.O will be essential…

And I know I am being selfish, but I have tickets for April 5th VS the habs in the lower bowl….I would just love to just enjoy the game and not be certain to be out of the playoff picture at that point.

But I like the endless optimism of ” Kate from Pa.-made in Detroit” Let’s Go Red Wings!!!
